Eddie-- Is that a visual example or a tactile example? Maybe you should post pictures.... Earlier in life, I tried the cage thing, 3x. It sucked each time. revmaaatin.

Hi Group, Has anyone ever had success, or ever used, plastic headlight restore polish, on a visor? You know, the stuff you use to restore plastic yellowed headlight lenses, with the 1000/1500/2000/2500 sandpaper and plastic lens polish. I know visors are not that expensive but, if you have the stuff sitting on your work bench...... P.S. Just did the process to my truck and it came out pretty good. So before I go and mess up a usefull but scratched clear visor, I thought I'd measure/ask twice and cut once. Thanks, KLRBugeater

I was thinking the same thing just the other day. I have extra sitting on my bench, too. The Sylvania kit did a great job on my 97 Taurus and 00 Concorde. As a person in the plastics business, I know what face shields are made from (Polycarbonate) and I have some knowledge of the hard coating process. Automotive headlight lenses are basically the same. We actually made the CX2 shields for Shoei (these were used last in their RF-R line in the late 90s) Can t hurt to try it, but I wouldn t expect good results: the wipe-on final clear coat is likely to leave a lot of optical distortion that you ll notice as soon as you put the helmet on.

You might have good results if you can find a way to "dip" the visor in the clear coat. From studying some visors I've had, I think that's what the factory does.

I have used the 3M kit on the plastic on a KLR, but I would not expect it to leave a visor clear enough to use. Robert Wichert P.Eng. LEED AP +1 916 966 9060 FAX +1 916 966 9068 ===============================================
